Forza Horizon 6 PS5 Launch Reportedly Scrubbed for 2026

Key Points:

• Forza Horizon 6's previously anticipated PlayStation 5 launch window has reportedly been delayed, with the game no longer expected to release on PS5 before the end of 2026, according to The Verge's Tom Warren and confirmed by IGN sources.
• Xbox has not officially announced any changes to the Forza Horizon 6 PS5 launch plans, but recent shifts in Xbox's strategy show a reduced emphasis on multiplatform releases, favoring exclusivity for its own consoles.
• Recent Xbox actions include removing PS5 and Switch 2 logos from trailers, pulling a Halo trailer from a PlayStation event, and confirming new exclusives like Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution for Xbox consoles.
• Xbox's head Asha Sharma stated the company would honor multiplatform launches already announced, like Forza Horizon 6, but gave no guarantees on timing, promotion, or prioritization of these ports.
• Despite the delay, Forza Horizon 6 is highly praised, receiving a perfect 10/10 from IGN, and is expected to perform well on PS5 whenever it eventually launches, though it may avoid releasing near the highly anticipated GTA 6 launch in November.
